Abstract: It is widely believed that the spectral gap above the Fermi sea ground state of lattice free fermions is stable against generic weak interactions. Quite recently, Hastings presented a new interesting idea to prove the stability for Majorana free fermions. He ingeniously used Majorana fermions so that the unperturbed Hamiltonian of the free fermion part is mapped into a frustration-free form. In this paper, we refine Hastings's argument, and give a complete proof of the stability of the spectral gap above the Fermi sea ground state against generic weak interactions for generic lattice free fermions.
